Who’s not a reliable source?TheFishGuy said:These are not easily identified unless you have a reliable source. And at the moment you do not have a reliable source.
It was Vieja before it was renamed Paratheraps and before Vieja it was Cichlasoma.Adrian101 said:yeah Thats the one. Thanks guys. He was bout 3inch when i bought him and shot up to about 5 in a matter of weeks. Super aggressive guy. He is currently in a 50gal by himself while i wonder what to do with him. My lfs are normally great with ids but were way off on this one. Thanks again guys.
I can't stress enough that unless your vieja/theraps/paratheraps comes from a reliable source/breeder or comes with a tag location there's no guarantee you're getting a pure fish.Adrian101 said:yeah Thats the one.

I think Adrian's are the Paratheraps Bifasciatus Rio ChacamaxTheFishGuy said:Tag location is the river or lake they are from.
For example I just spawned F1 amphilophus flaveolus lake Apoyo. I have also spawned paratheraps bifas rio chaca max just to name a few with tag names...
Not likely.Bamboo said:Will bifas get along with pearsi and argentea in a 125 or 150 gallon ?
Pure speculation. There's no real way to know unless he does some investigating. You cannot go by pictures. They are unreliable.I think Adrian's are the Paratheraps Bifasciatus Rio Chacamax
